history

Lohm was first mentioned in 1336 as Luome , seven years later it was named Lome . The place name is derived from a word from a Slavic language and describes a settlement in the area of ​​which there was wind break . Lohm is a cul-de-sac village and anger village that has grown over time . In the year after it was first mentioned, on July 6, 1337, the Brandenburg Margrave Ludwig I enfeoffed the brothers Heinrich and Jordan von Kröcher with the villages of Lohm and Dreetz .

The aristocratic Kröcher family ruled the village until the 20th century. From an administrative point of view, Lohm belonged to the Kyritz district from the 16th century . In 1737 Georg Volrath von Kröcher built the manor house Lohm I. Caspar Joachim von Kröcher built another manor house three years later on his part of the estate. Both buildings have been preserved to this day.

From 1815 Lohm was in the Ostprignitz district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg , which was created through an administrative reform. In 1924 von Kröcher sold the Lohm II estate to the Deutsche Kultur- und Siedlungsgesellschaft, through which it came into the possession of the Potsdam Police President Wilhelm Graf von Wedel . After his death in 1941, the building contractor Friedrich Kotzbau bought the property. In 1928 the manor districts Lohm I, II, III and IV were combined with the municipality of Lohm. After the end of the Second World War and the subsequent land reform, those of Kröcher, who still owned Gutseil I, and Kotzbau were expropriated and the land was distributed to new farmers. After the expropriation, the Lohm I mansion housed rental apartments and a kindergarten; In 2016 it was sold to an architect couple. The Herrenhaus Lohm II was a primary school until 2002 and is now used as a guest house.

In GDR times, Lohm belonged to the Kyritz district in the Potsdam district from 1952 . After reunification , the place was in the district of Kyritz for another three years and then moved to the new district of Ostprignitz-Ruppin . On December 31, 1997, Lohm merged with Zernitz to form the new municipality of Zernitz-Lohm .

Half-timbered church Lohm

Already in 1541 Lohm was a parish church of the Kyritz superintendent. Today's half-timbered church in Lohm was built in 1828 and stands on the foundation of the previous building. The church was refurbished for the first time in 1902, followed by a further restoration in 1980. The Lohm parish was dissolved in 1977 and joined the parish of Zernitz. There has been an organ in the village church of Lohm since 2003.
